Last week, I needed water conditioner. And there was a betta sale going on! They were almost all gone - just a couple of VTs (male and female) left. The rest of the display was empty.

This one blue VT male was sitting in his icky cup.... And I love blue. So yep. I got him.

Then today, for some reason, I "needed" to go to Petsmart. (No, I didn't need anything. I just "needed" to go there. LOL) The sale was still going on AND they just got in a NEW SHIPMENT! Bettas galore.

So I said, "I will only get a HM butterfly that is blue with white." I figured there was no way they had one of those. And they didn't.... But they DID have a HM multicolor (blue, red and a touch of white). And he was sooooo cute.

I looked at him for a reallllly long time. And I kept saying, "No more bettas. No more bettas." Somehow, I left him there. But, of course, now I'm thinking about him.... And Petsmart is open tomorrow. LOL

I have this same issue!
and thats exactly what i did with my black orchid too, saw him one day when i bought 2 others, kept thinking and thinking about him, went 3 days later to see if he was still there, he was so i got him....I tend to come home with another one just about every time i go.
